🥘 Ingredients
Veg
  • 1 acorn squash (halved seeded sliced 1/2-inch wedges)
Glaze
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (pure)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
Spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated)
Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Garnish
  • 2 tbsp pecans (chopped for garnish)
📝 Instructions
  1. Halve acorn squash. Scoop out seeds. Slice into 1/2-inch wedges. Keep the skin on. Shared 💡 Skin becomes tender and edible when roasted — plus it holds shape.
  2. Mix maple syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss squash wedges in the mixture until well coated. Shared 💡 Every wedge should glisten with maple butter.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Roast at 380°F. Arrange wedges on sheet pan in single layer. Shared 💡 Single layer for even caramelization.
  4. Air Roast 16-18 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork and edges are caramelized. Flip halfway. Top Oven 💡 Caramelized edges are the goal — they concentrate sweetness.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Serve warm. Shared 💡 Pecans add a buttery crunch that completes the dish.
💡 Ninja Tips

Keep skin on — it becomes tender and edible. Choose smaller squash for sweeter flavor. Pecans add buttery crunch.

Scaling: Double: Larger pan or two batches. Half: Half squash; same timing.
